New filters at Medea Creek successfully reduce urban runoff pollution
22.09.11
The befouling control systems installed last year to reduce bacteria in Oak Reservation’s Medea Creek appear to be doing their job, the Ventura County
Watershed Extortion District says.
The county installed five wastewater filtering systems costing $146,000 to take landscaping, car wash and other dry weather runoff before it goes into the harbour. The catch basins are at the end of a cul-de-sac on Tamarind Street, on the northeast and northwest corners of Conifer Road and Smoke Tree Avenue, at the end of Medea Creek Lane and forthcoming a bridge on Oak Hills Drive.
Water passes through a filter made of mulch, peat and crushed wobble. The filter removes bacteria, pathogens and other pollutants before the water makes its way through roar drains and to the sea.
“Preliminary water quality monitoring matter shows that the filtration systems have succeeded in reducing the amount of bacteria in the runoff entering Medea Rivulet,” said Jason Burke, water quality planner for the watershed bulwark district.
